The Rotax 1494 cc 3-cylinder engine is currently used in Sea-Doo PWCs. Depending on it's configuration, it's capable of up to 260 HP. :yikes::yikes: The base version provides 130 HP (http://www.brp-powertrain.com/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-236/375_read-357/), which would be a really nice bump over the current engine.
What would be nice is for BRP to provide more powerful versions as you stepped up in the model line. So the base RT would have 130 HP, the RT-S 155 HP, and the RT-LTD 215 HP.ray:
ray: BTW, 215 HP is as high as they go with only a closed circuit cooling system. The higher HP versions use both a radiator and a water intake flow through system.
I am sorry to say this, but I think the higher horsepower is more appropriate for the RS crowd. My thinking is that they bought the "Sport" model for the performance. I would assume the "Touring" model was bought to make miles, not make up time. I am personally very hurt that you left us RSers out of the mix:lecturef_smilie::joke:
Just sayin'...........
